Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 10 min.
Greek salad : Stage 1
Wash 1 cucumber, peel and slice (a mandolin is the ideal tool for this), then cut into sticks, and finally into small dice.

Put to wait in a seive.

If you prefer your cucumber softer rather than crunchy, salt lightly to tenderise and draw out some of the juice.
Stage 2 - ⌛ 5 min.
Greek salad : Stage 2

Stage 7 - ⌛ 5 min.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 2 min.
Greek salad : Stage 8

It's ready.
Remarks
Take care to use the recommended quantity of olive oil; it's important for the end result, and ideally use Greek oil if you can.

Use a red onion if possible; they are available in the summer and are so good raw.
And to drink?
If you like it, why not the famous Greek white wine Retsina? Or a fruity rosé from Provence. To accompany this salad perfectly, drink one or the other, well chilled and in the shade.
Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, folded in a plastic film.
Source: Home made.

The French classic "Paté en croute" is a terrine of different meats layered and baked in a pie crust. There are many recipes which vary the kind of meat and the seasonings. This is my version with pork, veal and chicken, which is not too difficult, though it does entail quite a lot of work.
